Standing in the studio, finishing the passages she needed to perform, Naomi Watts looked at the interviewers in front of her with uneasy speculation. She was eager to know if her acting skills would be able to satisfy these people, and whether this role would be her own.

And the expressions of the few people on the opposite side at least reassured her. She saw that the expressions of these people were quite satisfied, and her performance obviously moved them.

"What do you think?" At this point, Levy turned around and asked Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey also came back to his senses from his exclamation. In the same way, he didn't expect that Naomi. Watts can do so well. When Levy said at the beginning that he wanted to find a newcomer to play this role, Jim Carrey still had some doubts: although he also knew that this movie should create the atmosphere of a reality show, and it would not be good to use more stars, but the problem was that his own performance was a bit exaggerated, and if it was paired with a newcomer, it would be difficult to control the acting skills. But now that he saw Naomi Watts' delicate and excellent performance, he was secretly surprised in his heart.

I have always been conceited that I am the best actor and a superstar at the 20 million level, but in terms of delicate performance, I am not as good as a woman who has not become famous at the age of 30.

When Watts came in, he didn't really like Watts very much - the actor looked a bit reserved, while Jim Carrey preferred people with bold personalities. And now, after watching her performance, he changed his mind: this kind of acting is impressive, and she was originally going to play a wife she didn't like very much!

"Very good actors, we don't have to be who will help whom." Jim Carrey laughed, he also liked to joke, "Her acting skills are much better than mine." ”

Watts smiled reservedly, and she didn't think she could really be compared to Jim Carrey: she had been in Hollywood for ten years. She knows very well that in her own capacity, there are times when she looks at a star too much, which will cause trouble.

"Very surprising performance, Ms. Watts, you're Australian, right?" Levy opened his mouth to break the silence, but his completely irrelevant words left Watts a little confused.

"Yes, I'm Australian. But I've been in the U.S. for many years. I am very familiar with the customs of the United States, I know the American culture and all kinds of anecdotes......"

Watts was still worried that Levy would discriminate against foreign actors, and she was hurriedly speaking for herself. It's just that the Australian accent contained in her soft tone makes her words not very convincing.

"Does it matter if it's American? I'm not an American either. Jim Carrey muttered, a sentence of support that made Watts feel a little reassured.

Levy stopped Jim Carrey's words, and spoke again, "I don't mean anything else. It's just a sigh that Australia is a place that produces good actors. I gotta say, you're a good actor, you're very good, I'm satisfied. ”

This comment from Levy. It made Watts's face, which had always been a little nervous, relax a little, and she had waited a long time for this sentence.

And what she didn't know was for such a performance. Levy also waited a long time.

For a long time, among the many actresses in Hollywood, Levy believes that acting skills can really be said to be outstanding. Not a lot. The acting skills of actresses are generally inferior to male stars, and the more beautiful actresses are, the more unwilling they are to work hard to sharpen their acting skills, which has become a recognized phenomenon in Hollywood. Anyway, you can make money by showing an image in front of the camera, so what is the purpose of hard acting?

Among the post-70s, including several post-60s actresses who became famous late, Levy believes that the best acting skills are nothing more than three people: one is Winslet in the UK, although she is nicknamed fat and warm many times, her figure is speechless, but she is indeed outstanding in acting. And one is France's Marion, a La Vie en Rose, which is almost the pinnacle of performance for actresses in the 21st century in Levy's eyes, that is, in the 90s plays, only Holly Hunt in piano lessons can be compared to her. And then there's Naomi in front of her. Watts - although Levy's memory of her fame was even a few years later, her performances have been amazing since she became famous, and it is rare to maintain a high standard all the time.

Except for these few actors, the others inevitably have some problems: Cate Blanchett always plays everything, which always makes Levy feel that she has not played Elizabeth yet. Hilary Swank's acting skills are good, but unfortunately the image determines that the acting path is too narrow, Angelina Jolie's acting skills, after she gave up literary films, there has been no progress, only hype and sex appeal remain, Renee Zellweger is more than hard work, but unfortunately she is always a little bit unlucky, and when it comes to Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, and Charlize Theron, in terms of appearance, behavior, Hollywood networks, may have their own merits, but purely in terms of acting skills, A few of them are a little worse.

The woman in front of herself, purely in terms of acting skills, is also top in Hollywood. It's just unexpected that her acting skills were already very good before she became famous - but it's not surprising to think about it: she has not been idle in the past few years, and has been acting. Moreover, she was originally the one who became famous for her successful performance in Mulholland Drive, and she has obviously been honing her acting skills for a long time.

This made Levy quite happy: there were always people who wanted to be Levy's muse, but Levy himself had high requirements for actors, and he knew that if he wanted to make a good movie, he had to use good actors. Compared with other actors, Naomi Watts's ceiling is obviously higher, and when she meets such a good actor, her works can naturally be better.

Theron and Winona just made Levy feel that it was appropriate for them to act in a play. But Naomi was more promising in Levy's eyes.

In fact, Levy has always had an opinion: among the outstanding actresses in Hollywood, there are not many in the United States. Levy has always felt that this is a matter of publicity getting better and better, and actresses can gain fame even if they don't have to perform well: people born in the 60s can still have good actors, and those born in the 70s are already a notch. In the 80s, a group of people born in the 80s, although the four little flowers are blowing very loudly, but really looking at the salary, in addition to Dunst, the post-80s actress who got a high salary by filming a sequel to Spider-Man, the highest salary is actually Lindsay Lohan, and several other people, even if Natalie is touted to the sky. Portman, in fact, what is really good is a black swan, and the other plays are really bad, compared with a real genius like Jodie Foster, the gap is quite large. Under the increasingly developed media, men may still be willing to hone their acting skills, while women live by their looks.

Even in China back then, Levy had seen countless actors, and his acting skills had not grown for many years since he left the school gate. When you become famous, it is difficult for people to calm down and study acting skills again, and the actors in the entertainment industry are all like this.

So, of course, in such an environment, it is really rare and lucky to have an actress who has not yet become famous at the age of 30 and has been honing her acting skills. It wasn't until he saw her performance that Levi dared to admire: a good actor is a good actor, and he can become famous in his 30s in one fell swoop, not without reason, this kind of delicate performance, others really can't play it.

"Since you think it's appropriate, how about letting her play it?" Levy watched Watts' performance and turned his head to Jim Carrey on the other side.

Watts' conditions are still good: the play was originally going to use a woman around 30 years old, and she was the right age. Moreover, I don't know if it's a problem with Australia's terroir, the actresses produced in this place are not very old, and she is very feminine in appearance, so it is not a problem to perform the image of this play.

And now it seems that her acting skills are not a problem, and in Levy's heart, she has already made up her mind.

Jim Carrey nodded, but he spoke again as if he remembered something, "Are you sure you can really handle the camera well and not make our height difference a problem?" ”

While Watts looks good, Jim Carrey is more concerned about the lens. This is the basic pursuit of an actor, and this one will not become.

"Don't worry about this." Levy smiled: Of course he knew how to deal with the height difference. This is basically a must-learn project for directors. Hollywood is quite good, but the actors in the domestic film industry who conceal their height are called difficult to deal with......

These problems do not need to be worried. As long as you try to let one sit and the other stand when filming, you can avoid it, and if you really need to stand together, it's a big deal to let Watts stand on the stairs. Levy doesn't like fruit crates very much, and it's better to use the scenery in the play to create the height difference.

"Miss Watts, I think you can get this role." After Jim Carrey had no objections, Levy also turned his head and said to Naomi Watts, "The heroine of this movie is you." ”

"I'm the heroine?" Watts said with some surprise. She has thought about such a scene many times in her dreams: she was favored by a big director and ascended to the sky one step at a time, but she still couldn't believe that this day had really come.

"Yes, you're the heroine." Levy nodded, "It's best for you to play this play." ”

Such an actor, of course, don't miss it when you meet it, you must cooperate more and let her star in her own movies more. In Levy's memory, this actor likes to take detours: she became famous by relying on Mulholland Road, but when Mulholland Road was busy with publicity, she forgot to apply for an Oscar for her because she was too famous. And later, she took a detour and ran to play King Kong - Peter. Jackson is the director who filmed The Lord of the Rings and couldn't get an actor to get an acting nomination, and the sparseness of his characters is speechless, and being the screaming queen in his movie is too crooked. is already 30 years old, and if she takes a detour in her acting career, it can be said that Naomi Watts herself is not good at choosing a path for herself, which has always affected her development.

But now, Levy won't let her take any more detours. Such an actor, he must use it well. What I want to give her is a smooth road. (To be continued......) u
